over a year... musings

Hello-- I've been sober now for a year a month or soooo... and I wanted to share that it is fantastic & I love that I do not drink. I have *finally* really begun to relax... and I think really get to know myself as a sober person. It is amazing to go out at night and not have to worry about what I may have done the night before, or to have any drama whatsoever..... There is no drama. None. Being sober has inspired me to reevaluate many different areas of my life, and to "clean house" so to speak with people and situations that were dragging me down... that i did not even see because i was so distracted by the problems created by alcohol. It is an amazing blessing and a gift. thank you to this board.

Good for you, Daisy!

I so loved leaving the drama behind, too.

Congrats Daisy, !!

It really is amazing how blind I'd become because , like you;

" i was so distracted by the problems created by alcohol."

Thank goodness for some clarity today.
